Inorganic polymer concrete (IPC) reinforced with basalt fibre reinforced polymer (BFRP) was proposed as a promising substitute of conventional reinforced concrete for structures to enhance their sustainability and durability. This paper, for the first time, presents a systematic study, experimental, theoretical and numerical, of shear behaviour of IPC beams reinforced with BFRP bars and stirrups considering the effects of stirrup spacing (S = 80, 100 and 150 mm) and shear span-to-depth ratio (λ = 1.5, 2.0 and 2.5). Result indicates that all BFRP-IPC beams fail in shear as a result of BFRP stirrup rupture and shear-compression failure. Compared to S, λ has a more pronounced influence on shear performance of BFRP reinforced IPC beams, with a maximum reduction of ultimate shear load by 29.4%. The simulation results show good agreement with experimental data, while the theoretical predictions according to existing design provisions for FRP reinforced concrete have a discrepancy of more than 30% with experiments due to lack of consideration of λ. Modified equations taking into account the effect of λ were then derived and used to predict the shear capacity of BFRP reinforced IPC beams, which agrees well with experimental data with an average discrepancy of only around 5%.
